Personal Statement
Are you facing challenges in parenting, relationships, dealing with trauma, or navigating anxiety triggers? I have a deep understanding of these issues, drawn from my personal experiences. I’m passionate about helping others manage and overcome them. My focus extends to working with children, teenagers, and couples. I enjoy drawing children & adolescents in with play and art therapy. These creative approaches not only help them to express themselves but also foster a strong therapeutic bond between us. With couples, my goal is to guide them from moments of distress, distance, or contention to a place of renewed closeness and intimacy. I believe in creating a supportive and empathetic space where individuals and couples can explore, understand, and navigate the complexities of their emotions and relationships. My background includes over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, seniors, and military personnel- through home, school, community based treatment and hospice care. In your first session, I'd like to hear your story, and what brings you to therapy. It might feel good to be able to talk about it! I guide you with strength-based approaches, to best meet your needs. Then we will work on setting goals to help you measure your progress, and you can decide how often you'd like to see me. If you're seeking a compassionate guide on your journey towards personal growth, improved relationships, and emotional well-being, I am here to support you. Let's work together to bring positive changes into your life!
